    The basic of immutable desktops is that every system file (what’s outside your home directory (folder) ) is readonly, you can install apps through the app store.

    But I’d say Linux mint (a Non-immutable) distro is what you should try first, because it’s more user-friendly and easier to get help for.

      Oh I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years. That’s not an issue.

      I have a better idea now of what an immutable distro is thanks to your explanation. I don’t know if that’s what I would want after all.

      I think I prefer the freedom of being able to modify my system files and configs as I need to customize my system as I see fit, even if it meansb potentially breaking something.
